This is not unexpected but still very disappointing and disturbing. I hope this will prompt much needed (but most likely difficult) conversations about misinformation, funding for public health, and vaccination records. Our actions affect the whole region (and beyond). www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

Very thoughtful article about lack of inspections of care homes by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in England. Something is wrong when a regulator - any regulator - let a service provider uninspected for a long time. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Not happy about this at all. But can we please stop calling it child porn? If a short form is needed, how about CSAEM (child sexual abuse + exploitation material)? True, the SCC was dealing with the offence of child pornography before it was amended to CSAEM, but "porn" unnecessarily diminishes it.

"Recognising care as something universal and with legal protections (e.g. paid care leave) will help." ... "Care is inevitable; political failure need not be."

The UCP’s use of the NWS clause to end the teachers strike is sinking in. This is a terrible precedent for *all* groups with protected rights. Why would the government ever not use s 33 now in any case where they can’t make a credible s 1 argument?

Bill 60, if passed, will make it even more difficult for renters in ON. “Only in Doug Ford’s Ontario can hard-working renters in good standing be able to count on just a one-year lease, while a foreign spa company at Ontario Place gets a guarantee for 99.” www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is the 4th and final post in our series on the Dickson case; this one examines the dissent on ss 25 and 15 of the Charter. While it appears to flow from concerns about gender equality, @roberthamilton.bsky.social, @jwatsonhamilton.bsky.social and I are critical of the dissent's approach.
